  Very well equipped and tastefully fitted out barn conversion.

  This is located in an extremely quiet hamlet just outside Oughtibridge. Sheffield is just a 10 minute drive, but if you go the other direction you are presented with miles of open countryside. It’s a great location. Oughtibridge has a number of pubs and takeaways ( I recommend The Pheasant) Going back to the accommodation, there are some lovely touches. The kitchen is amazing with a massive central island made from railway sleepers. (as are many things around the accommodation. A huge fridge freezer, dishwasher, loads of cutlery and utensils and lots of crockery and glasses. We have been to so many places where there are 4 cups and four plates etc. Not here! Also downstairs is a marvellous utility room with loads of space for all the muddy shoes, coats etc. Bedrooms are all doubles and beds are extremely comfortable . The master bedroom has an en-suite and huge French windows giving the most amazing view. Minor criticism is that the rooms could do with a bit more storage for clothes. There is a downstairs toilet and shower. Beautiful family bathroom upstairs with twin wash basins and walk in shower. (en suite also has a walk in shower. The showers were excellent though the owner might want to think about fitting a glass screen, as it’s easy to flood the floor. The living area is comfy and has a massive 78 inch smart TV. Everyone loved this. Another feature of this place is all the lighting. There are lights everywhere enabling you to create whatever lighting mood you like. The only problem was knowing which switches to turn on and off/dim. I think I counted 32 light switches downstairs. I think it would be a good idea to label them or do a diagram,! Outside, garden furniture is plentiful with a big outdoor sofa and table set outside the front and another nest to the private hot tub. The hot tub is huge and was very pleasant. It’s a few yards away from the house and when it’s dark could do with a bit of outside lighting, but again a minor issue. The owner , Simon is a great host, very welcoming and always available to contact if you need anything. Plenty of private parking. There is a large lawned area big enough to exercise a dog, which is shared with the other cottage on the same piece of land. Overall, highly recommended .

  On arrival to Green Barn we were met by the owners, Simon and Amy.

  Green Barn was just as listed with amazing views and open countryside. We arrived before 3pm and were shown around and given instructions on using the kitchen appliances and given lots of menus and guidance on where to eat and get take aways. We were amazed at the facilities as soon as we entered the cottage. Bespoke kitchen with a huge central island which was a feature of the downstairs.. very clean and bright with big doors leading out onto a patio. The owners had purchased new luxurious patio furniture and a brand new BBQ was ready for us to enjoy. The 3 bedrooms upstairs were all good sizes. The master had amazing views of the country side through big double doors with a glass Juliet balcony. The en suite was tastefully done with a wet room shower. The 2 other rooms had a main bathroom next to them with a luxurious free standing bath and his and hers sink. Also a wet room room shower to complete the look. A real wow factor! Everything done with great taste and super quality. The beds and pillows were very comfortable with good quality linen. The out door facilities were excellent. Plenty of seating for 6 people and A hot tub to make the weekend relaxing and very chilled. . We went to the local shops and pubs in the village of Oughtibridge and also had a delicious Chinese take away from the Cantonese next to the village store. All of the local people were very friendly. Would definitely recommend Green Barn to everyone. Views to die for! Facilities and accommodation of a very high standard. The owners should be proud of what they have achieved. A big Thank you from The Briers Family.

  The perfect getaway.

  As with every stay there are pros and cons. I'll start with the cons - And now the pros - even before check in communication with the host were very personal and well thought through. We've driven through the location many times, so we knew where we were going. Key pick up was easy, the receptionist was friendly and helpful, and we found our room easily enough. From the moment we opened the door we knew we were in for a real treat. The apartment is furnished to a high standard, with wonderful little details like heat protector for straighteners and a welcome pack. The living space has a very modern feel but is also very comfortable and cosy. The kitchen is well equipped with high quality appliances and accessories, we had everything you could possibly need. The bedroom is again very modern but extremely comfortable, the bed is like sleeping on a cloud. We both slept really soundly. There is ample space for clothing and luggage. The shower room again is finished to a high standard with all matching accessories. Fantastic shower, very powerful and the towels were lovely and soft. The balcony just adds that finishing touch. We had lovely weather so sitting outside with our morning cuppa was the icing on the cake. Really enjoyed our stay we left feeling thoroughly refreshed. We cannot recommend or rate this place highly enough we shall be returning customers.

  First of all they need new cleaners!

  We left the property cleaner than when we entered! The cooker hood hadnt been cleaned for weeks. (We didnt clean that, though). The log burner was full of ash and burnt logs. The cooker shelves were dirty as were flat pan trays and frying pan. We moved a settee to give us more room to get round the table and obviously they hadn't hoovered underneath. It was clean and tidy when walking in but had clearly not been bottomed! We hasd an enjoyable stay although the beds weren't very comfy. Thanks goes to the caretaker who decorated it for christmas. Lack of doormat by the back door (we had to use our towels), sparse utensils (no potato peeler for one). No spare bin bags etc. Not clear enough what the recycling bins were used for. The shower head just trickled water out so we had to take it apart and clean it ourselves! There was absolutely no additions which we have always found when staying in holiday lets. You have to mentally consider whats in your cupboards at home and take with you! No salt and pepper for one and anything else you would use when cooking a meal! The cottage is situated in a very quaint village with plenty of walks and pubs not too far away. We enjoyed our stay but didn't enjoy the cleaning or having to travel into Bakewell to buy the additions!

  Fantastic place in.

  A beautiful village. Very easy to find and great local areas. We arrived and we’re greeted by Simon who was working outside. Very friendly then later we’re treated properly by the host who was friendly and lovely. Great fresh eggs on arrival which was a lovely touch. The cottage/lodge was lovely and quaint. Bathroom was a little tight but absolutely fine. Kitchen was well equipped even with washer and dryer so. The garden which was ours was to the side of the property was beautiful and well kept. No gate tho which at first made me worried but even if you have a pooch that will rub out its perfection safe as it’s a private road /entrance to the house so I was at ease. Just be careful when washing up as the sink is solid and we accident it broke a glass which the host was very understanding and told me not to worry. Literally the main thing I wouldn’t recommend which is coming from someone who relys on tech is that the tv needs a chrome cast or some casting device so you can turn the tv into a smart tv and cast from your phone on a evening or if staying in the lodge. I worked from home a few half days while there and would of found it easier. Overall great beautiful lodge in a lovely area !
